Squamish RCMP officers are investigating a case of rental fraud where a local citizen was scammed of more than $3,000.
On November 12, a local resident told police about sending $3,200 to the holder of an international bank account to rent a home in Squamish.
After the resident successfully sent the funds, he was unable to reach the person who put out the advertisement.
He couldn’t contact the homeowner either. This file remains under investigation.
